Best I've Seen Today: star wars dorkdom

How do I know that I'm still into Star Wars? [Except for those Ewoks. They're just creepy now.] I got super excited after clicking Koka Sexton's (@kokasexton) tweet: 


Stacey Woodward's star wars dorkdom board on Pinterest is very cool. By far, my favorite pin is the image below. Words to live by ...

        Poll: #ReplaceFilmTitlesWithVagina | I say ...


        When I checked the trending topics this morning, I saw something about film titles. Yah! I went to get a cup of tea. When I returned to my computer - ready to tweet in, I realized that I missed the key word, vagina. #ReplaceFilmTitlesWithVagina. I thought, "Eeeeww. That's tacky, childish, and disgusting (#thisneedstostop)."

        I drew a blank. What could people be coming up with to make that trend. SMH - I decided to take a peak. The only thing I could come up with was The Vagina Monologues which was not a replacement. Then, I looked over at my DVD rental pile and said, "Let me see what I can come up with here (#mature)."

        How to Train Your Dragon - How to Train Your Vagina

        Over Her Dead Body - Over Her Dead Vagina

        Forks Over Knives - Forks Over Vaginas

        Although the first one is kinda funny  (#dontjudgeme), I didn't want to put it out there.  It was fitting that #ReplaceFilmTitlesWithVagina was trending with #stupidthingspeopledo. On the other hand, complaining using the hashtag in a tweet only adds to the trend.

        So today I am part of the problem, not the solution. Forgive me.

        I am going to add to the problem and ask: What do you say about the #ReplaceFilmTitlesWithVagina trending topic? Do you share any of my thoughts? Please vote above.

        Update:

        I am really surprised that #ReplaceFilmTitlesWithVagina has continued to trend for the rest of the day - both in the United States and worldwide. Seriously?!?

        I am moving on ... telling myself, "Don't be so up tight. Twitter is not known for #keepitclassy. Tomorrow you will go back to ignoring the crazy and #BeABetterMan."
